I have now discovered the problem. You are correct. I had changed
recently my init file, with the effect that conkeror-minor-mode was no
longer loaded when I ran org publish, even though the hook was still
present. I had changed things thinking it was a "simplification". I had
forgotten "if it works don't touch it".

Thanks for your help - sorry about the non-issue.

Best wishes,

Colin.
